Food and healing.

                                                                

        I've always been interested in eating in a simple healthy way, long 
before it became fashionable to do so. I try never to become fanatical,
or make a fetish out of eating, I just believe that we have been
 provided with food in natural abundance ,and that if we were
 able to work with nature to preserve  and nurture this, seeing that
 everyone had enough, then the world would  certainly be a happier place.  

I feel too that food should be  enjoyed in its natural, unadulterated 
state, and that meals should become part of the rhythm of life and living.
It seems that this pressurised society  encourages 'instant eating'
with no time for appreciation, relaxation,and a sense of communion with others.
 How sad  when many cultures we would call primitive  regard meal eating 
as a sacred ritual and truly understand the need to love and respect food.  

                                                            

I came across this video as a simple introduction to whole foods and
 I like the uncomplicated, straightforward approach.Annemarie Colbin has a doctorate in the subject yet she is able to convey her message simply and without fuss. Her website is interesting,----a lot of information here.Her books look interesting too, I'm especially drawn to the latest theme -'Whole Foods for Strong Bones.-a Holistic Approach.
